I added a small journalling tag with a stamped sentiment, some machine stitching, a piece of flair (Fresh Eggs pin), a small button with Ivory Burlap String tied through its middle, and a Two-Tone Yellow Open Rose to the bottom right of my card. I always enjoy the warmth and texture found in all of the products at Really Reasonable Ribbon. They add SO much personality to my cards, and they'll do the same for yours. Give them a try, and treat yourself today.

Be sure to check out the fabulous After-Christmas Sale taking place now through the end of the year in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store, and be sure to stop back by the RRR Blog often for lots of great inspiration, our monthly Blog Hops, and to learn about special sales and promotions. There's always something FUN happening at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I had such fun creating this, that I thought I really should give equal time to all the cat lovers out there. So I whipped up this "Meowy Christmas" kitty themed card folio for you today. You can follow the same YouTube tutorial for making this project.

Hi friends! Well, Christmas is just about upon us and I'm feeling very merry these days! I'm so happy to be able to share with you a project that I enjoyed making so much and it is brimming to the top with Christmas cheer! Linsey here today--I invite you to come along and see all the magic and sweetness this holiday home décor book box holds!

The front cover of my book box is loaded with Red and Ivory Aster Daisy Stems, WOC White Magnolias and White Bead Berry Spray Clusters for sparkle and pizazz! The 5/8" Red Taffeta Ribbon adds decadence and charm to the piece. Some Natural Burlap String tied into a bow and to the buttons lends a bit vintage goodness to the box and ties in beautifully with these darling vintage-style papers to complete the look. I added gold foils around all the edges and a vintage metal keyhole and key, as well as a metal clothespin inscribed with the word "timeless", which I believe is one of the words that describes the true meaning of Christmas.

And now for a look inside. This is the inside of the front cover and it has pocket and tag for writing the title and year. More red taffeta and daisy asters were added because I love them so much!

Lots of tag and pockets for journaling fit inside the book box. Much more could be added as well since there is so much space!

Hi friends. I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Today I'm sharing the holiday card that I've sent out to my family and friends. Each year I make one design which I mass produce. This works best for me. Since I LOVE the holiday Plaid Ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon, that is what I've used this year.

I decided to go with traditional Christmas colors for my card and I LOVE cardinals, so this is what I came up with.

In order to keep things flat for mailing, rather than a bow I simply took a piece of ribbon, tied a knot in the middle and then dove-tailed the ribbon ends. This is a flat enough embellishment for mailing in a regular envelope with no additional postage.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. For more information on the other items used on my card, visit my Make Time to Craft blog. Happy crafting!

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today I have recycled this darling snowman treat box that I received in a basket that held truffles. I thought how cute it would look decorated with Really Reasonable Ribbon, flowers, and embellishments. I did take a before photo of it not decorated and then with it decorated so you could see a before and after photo. Hope you enjoy my post for today, and I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas as well!

So for this sweet little snowman treat box, I started with covering the bottom of him with 29 open roses in all white. Love how it looks. Next I ruched up the seam binding in lipstick red and added it to the scarf around his neck to give it a neat look, and then added some white leaves, green gingham and a green flower rhinestone embellishment.

For the hat I chose to do the same using the seam binding, but this time I added a little flower resin embellishment to his hat. This project was super fun to do, as I enjoyed taking a break from everything else going on, and being able to just craft for a bit. Hope you enjoyed my post for today!

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you so much for stopping by! Hugs to all
Cheryl
